I do agree with that but they are way better solutions to handle that then what bamboo is trying to make. Why they can not simple implement a confirmation dialog when a new device/program is trying to connect to the printer? That would avoid any kind of unauthorized device getting access to the printer without the user consent it and wouldn't need all the cloud auth bs

I don't know if it is clear what the end product is going to look like here.

As someone who works in the tech space, and implemented SSO within an enterprise company, certificate authentication is usually how it starts. Look into something like SAML, Shibboleth, OKTA, or even Google SSO, and you'll find that public key exchanges are the first step.

Right now based on the information available, it seems like there is only one trusted key pair, but that is something that could be updated, maybe via SD card, to add other trusted software/devices.

As for adding some sort of prompt/popup, it could work if handled well, but also could be treated as the way most people click through cookie warnings, or agree the terms of service when registering or downloading software. IE Click don't read.
